My wife had the idea to plant milkweed in one of our gardens. The plants are doing great, and I have seen two monarchs so far in the area but I dont think they have found the milkweed quite yet.

@Oaktavia They are on the butterfly weeds that are in the Milkweed family. Buy some Butterfly weeds they bring lots of butterflies.

I think there are some of these on the Potomac by my house. They look a lot like milkweed?

[twin]

@Oaktavia They have orange flowers that are flat.

@twin OK cool man, I will try to remember to take a photo or two next time I am down there. I just saw my third monarch this morning while mowing the feild by the milkweed. The tiger and zebra swallowtail have found the milkweed garden though.

Find this guy on my front doorframe - I think it’s a riband wave (Idaea aversata).

@Oaktavia this is what Butterfly weed looks like.
